On In Half an Hour

You can watch the President’s address live here... [More]
Did you ask a question?

UPDATE:

Well that sucked-- they asked no questions-- very deceptive on the part of Heritage.

A Stinkweed By Any Other Name

One of the country’s leading gun-control groups is changing its name Tuesday from Americans for Responsible Solutions to Giffords... [More]
Hey, I thought the fist was supposed to be a threat...?

Here's their slick new look, hawking the same tired old lies.

Might as well make it a personality cult. Looks like they're trying to associate being useless at protecting yourself and those depending on you with "courage."

Urge President Trump to Oppose All Backdoor Gun Control

Click on the Take Action button to urge President Donald Trump to prevent the ATF from using the Las Vegas shooting to impose new gun control restrictions.  [More]
It's fast, easy and painless.

Don't let Lairds of Fairfax appeasement dominate the discussion here. Let him know gun owners aren't all parrots for Wayne and Chris.

Stonewall, and I Don't Mean the Confederate General

Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s administration has not yet fulfilled a series of information requests from the lawyer the city of Charlottesville hired to review the violent white nationalist rally in August and how public officials planned for the danger that came with it. [More]
So only one side was violent? And we're not going to see the stand-down orders?

About That 'Single Issue'

[More]
She links to one of my July pieces.

Let the unsubstantiated smartassery begin:


And no, he doesn't refute a single point because he can't.  But he does know quite a bit about making absolutely no sense.  Especially here, where he appears to be taking the same effective position as the Lairds of Fairfax.

Progress on One Front

Final Suspect in Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s Murder Arrested [More]
Now we need some focus on another front.

Official Position

JPFO OFFICIAL POSITION ON "BUMP" STOCKS: "Infringing on 'bump' stocks would justify infringing on any firearm or device. We adamantly oppose that." JPFO rejects proposed accessory-regulations outright, and you should too. [More]
What made the boss lose his taste for "dialog"?

Haters Gonna Hate


Gee, SPLC really has these guys pegged. [More]

Meanwhile, Over in the Sanctuary State

The U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) issued a detainer request on the Sonoma County Jail for Jesus Fabian Gonzalez, who was arrested Sunday on suspicion of arson in Wine Country fires that have killed at least 40 residents. [More]
Well then make sure no federal dollars are spent on response and restoration and bill the state for damages to federal lands.

Nope,This Doesn't Make Me Wish I Wasn't Alive Either...


Jeff Knox contacted me about my Harvey Weinstein piece and clued me in to another interesting repercussion:
(h) It shall be unlawful for any individual, who to that individual’s knowledge and while being employed for any person described in any paragraph of subsection (g) of this section, in the course of such employment—(1) to receive, possess, or transport any firearm or ammunition in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce; or(2) to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.
I heard that's known as the "Mafia bodyguard provision," designed to keep convicted dons from surrounding themselves with armed goons. And what that appears to mean is, if Harvey ends up convicted of rape, there goes the private security detail -- at least one that's worth a damn.

Somebody want to tell the Scientologists?

And I'll Be Happy to See Those Nice Young Men in Their Clean White Coats

“There’s nothing sick about him,” Spiegel said of Paddock. “As a psychiatrist, I deeply resent the inference that anybody who does something like this is mentally ill. It’s untrue and deeply unfair to people with mental illness.” [More]
Yes, he was obviously perfectly normal. And just as obviously, it's the fault of the guns.

Listen, I'll keep talking to the guy and try not to agitate him. You go get an orderly.

The Fake Science is Settled

Although that’s an interesting correlation ... it’s not enough to say that waiting periods themselves led to fewer deaths ... though the study does a good job of describing the relationship between waiting periods and gun deaths, it does have one major limitation: ...it’s a bit of a stretch to say with certainty that these waiting periods actively prevented deaths. “You can’t tell if gun purchasers were the ones directly affected, so you can’t know for sure that it’s a causal relationship”... [More
Yeah, that's "a robust association" alright.

What do you expect from someone who repeats the CDC lie?

Rope-Selling Capitalists

The group also has urged Congress and Trump in recent months to “quickly” pass an immigration plan that would reportedly not only allow 800,000 illegal aliens to obtain a pathway to U.S. citizenship but could also trigger a wave of chain migration. [More]
Do you think they think they'll personally be above blowback from what they're making inevitable?

Just Like Old Times

Civil War Reenactors Targeted with Pipe Bomb [More]
It's not just statues the Domestic Taliban would blow up.

Still, what are they doing that Obama mentor Bill Ayers did not?

We're the Only Ones Hysterical Enough

Sevier deputy suffered panic attack while armed, couple charged with causing it [More]
People need to do some serious jail time for this, and I don't mean the ones who were arrested.

"Hoss" and a following of excuse-making Facebook copsuckers are doubling down. I wonder how many of them would be so supportive had they been the victims.  No I don't.

Common Sense Gun Safety Nudges

Officials tapped ideas42, a Financial District-based firm, to launch a "high-visibility" campaign aiming to discourage would-be shooters from carrying guns.   [More]  
Good grief. They're serious.

The New Paradigm in Action

Researchers says law to expand background checks in Colorado and Washington failed most likely due to noncompliance and a lack of enforcement [More]
Welcome to the party, pals. You "professionals" are just figuring that out?

That's why the rice bowl gun groups disparage "I will not comply." Acknowledging individual risks, it for the most part works where what they justify their existence on completely fails.

The other hitch is the appeasers won''t consider you good or honest.

Buttman Begins


Looks like past poor behavior is catching up with Ben Assflick. [More]

No more "taco-flavored kisses for my Ben"? (Look it up yourself.)

Harvey, what have you started?

Pretty Soon You're Talking Real Money

Transgender ‘Barbie’ blows $1M on plastic surgery [More]
I'm just curious here -- where does this person get an extra million bucks from? Plus money to "travel the world"?

I mean, after school I was delivering papers, or working at a fast food joint. And working in warehouses, on delivery trucks and in factories in college and otherwise exercising all that "privilege" my skin color evidently gives me. Barbie here was dressing up and going to bars.

I don't see any mention of a career here prior to the TV freak show gig to pay for all this.

Like I said, I'm just curious.

Sis Boom Bah, Humbug!


Instruct us in the ways of justice, oh wise and experienced "cheerleader Shlondra Young." [More]

I remember how much I had to teach adults at 19.

Well, let's see...

They agree going in  that "Putting the team first is very important to the success of the program."

And they've acknowledged that they can be "SUSPENDED OR PERMANENTLY EXPELLED FROM PARTICIPATION IN SOME OR ALL ACTIVITES [and] WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO ANY REFUND OF ANY AMOUNTS PAID FOR PARTICIPATION IN ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE ACTIVITES."

Time for some adult lessons, I'd say.  Assuming any are running the program and the school...

Ritual Child Sacrifice

DRAG-QUEEN DEMON READS TO KIDS AT MICHELLE OBAMA LIBRARY [More]
Look at me Damien! It's all for you!

They don't even feel they have to they to hide it anymore. It's in your face. Give it a few years and those of us warning against it will be scorned by most as haters.

At least we won't be wearing millstones.

Flake Stance on Immigration Undoes His ‘Good’ Gun Votes


It’s past time for gun owners to reject the establishment Republican Kool Aid and insist on principle.  [More]
#CantorFlake. What good does it do to drain the swamp if we're still letting the leeches feed off us?
